You can verify the numbers by viewing the exact local user counts from each instance via the nodeinfo api at example.com/nodeinfo/2.0 for kbin and example.com/nodeinfo/2.0.json for lemmy. I think fedidb is close to accurate for lemmy but lagging behind a bit for kbin, specifically kbin.social where fedidb.info shows ~5K and kbin.social's nodeinfo shows ~20K users.

Yeah, Dansup just responded to my inquiry on Mastodon, and said that it looks like Kbin is not being updated on his end: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110546068159426679
Just trying to do my due diligence in figuring this stuff out. A lot of instances were struggling the last day or two.
Dont think it is exactly what you want but it is stat stuff. Can change to other instances via navbar or url manipulation. https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats
Thanks, that's pretty handy!
Neat tool! Unfortunately, it looks like it's just pulling straight from FediDB.
Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing.
